5. Work Procedures/Execution
6.1 On receipt of ducts and accessories to site, necessary precautions will be taken during unloading,
shifting to avoid damage and shall be stored in a place free of water.
6.2 Install materials in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
6.3 General: Assemble and install ductwork in accordance with recognized industry practices which
will achieve air tight (5 percent leakage for systems rated 75 mm and under; one percent for systems
rated over 75 mm) and noiseless (no objectionable noise) systems, capable of performing each
indicated service.
6.4 Duct pieces shall be installed and joined together as detailed on approved shop drawing. The ducts
shall be properly aligned and leveled to maintain BOD and distances as per approved shop drawing.
6.5 Field Fabrication: Complete fabrication of work at project as necessary to match shop-fabricated
work and accommodate installation requirements.
6.6 Routing: Locate ductwork runs, except as otherwise indicated, vertically and horizontally and avoid
diagonal runs wherever possible. Locate runs as indicated by diagrams, details and notations or, if
not otherwise indicated, run ductwork in shortest route which does not obstruct usable space or
block access for servicing building and its equipment.
Hold ducts close to walls, overhead construction, columns, and other structural and
permanent-enclosure elements of building. Limit clearance to 13 mm where furring is shown for
enclosure or concealment of ducts, but allow for insulation thickness, if any. Where possible, locate
insulated ductwork for 25 mm where furring is shown for enclosure or concealment of ducts, but
allow for insulation thickness, if any. Where possible, locate insulated ductwork for 25 mm
clearance outside of insulation. Wherever possible in finished and occupied spaces, conceal
ductwork from view, by locating in mechanical shafts, hollow wall construction or above suspended

ceilings. Do not encase horizontal runs in solid partitions, except as specifically shown. Coordinate
layout with suspended ceiling and lighting layouts and similar finished work.
6.7 Electrical Equipment Spaces: Do not route ductwork through transformer vaults and their electrical
equipment spaces and enclosures.
6.8 Penetrations: Where ducts pass through interior partitions and exterior walls, conceal space between
construction opening and duct or duct insulation with sheet metal flanges of same gage as duct.
Overlap opening on 4 sides by at least 38 mm. Fasten duct and substrate.
6.9 Coordination: Coordinate duct installations with installation of accessories, dampers, equipment,
controls and other associated work of ductwork system.
6.10 Installation: Install metal ductwork in accordance with SMACNA HVAC Duct Construction
Standards.
6.11 Installation of Flexible Ducts:
6.11.1 Maximum Length: For any duct run using flexible ductwork, do not exceed 1200 mm
extended length.
6.11.2 Installation: Install in accordance with Section III of SMACNA - HVAC Duct Construction
Standards, Metal and Flexible.
6.12 Installation of Duct Accessories:

6.12.1 Install duct accessories in accordance with manufacturer's installation instructions, with
applicable portions of details of construction as shown in SMACNA Standards, and in
accordance with recognized industry practices to ensure that products serve intended
function.
6.12.2 Install turning vanes in square or rectangular 90o elbows in supply and exhaust air systems,
and elsewhere as indicated.
6.12.3 Install access doors to open against system air pressure, with latches operable from either
side, except outside only where duct is too small for person to enter.
6.12.4 Coordinate with other work, including ductwork, as necessary to interface installation of
duct accessories properly with other work.
6.12.5 Installation of Diffusers, Registers and Grills:
6.12.6 General: Install diffusers, registers and grilles in accordance with manufacturer's written
instructions and in accordance with recognized industry practices to insure that products
serve intended functions.
6.12.7 Coordinate with other work, including ductwork and duct accessories, as necessary to
interface installation of air outlets and inlets with other work.
6.12.8 Locate ceiling air diffusers, registers, and grilles, as indicated on Drawings.
